I Never Saw Such luck!
In the course of one of his lecture trips, Mark Twain arrived at a small town. Before dinner he went to a barber shop to be shaved.
“You are a stranger?”asked the barber.
“yes,” Mark Twain replied. “ This is the first time I’ve been here.”
“You chose a good time to come.” The barber continued. “Mark Twain is going to read and lecture tonight. You’ll go. I suppose?”
“ Oh I guess so.”
“have you bought your ticket?”
“ Not yet.”
“But everything is sold out. You’ll have to stand.”
“How very annoying!” Mark Twain said with a sigh. “I never saw such luck! I always have to stand when that fellow lectures.”
我总是那么不走运！
马克.吐温在一次巡回演讲的途中，来到了一个小镇上。他在晚餐之前去理发店刮脸。“您不是本地人吧？”理发师问。
“没错，”马克.吐温回答，“我第一次到这里来。”“您来的时候正好。”理发师继续说，“马克.吐温今天晚上作演讲，我想您一定会去吧？”
“我想我会的。”
“您买票了吗？”
“没有。”
“可是票全卖光了，民得站着。”
“多讨厌啊！”马克.吐温叹了口气说，“我总是那么不走运！只要那个家伙演讲，我就一定得站着。”
